Problems with querystring with # or + 1

[aspnetvbnetnerd]

I have a problem sending querystring in javascript using # or +

I asp when using # or + sign the you use Server.UrlEncode

ace.asp?competence=<% =Server.UrlEncode("C#+sql server 2005+C++")%>

and when I want to retrieve the querystring competence it will show "C#+sql server 2005+C++"

If I want to send querystring with Javascript competens and the value "C#+sql server 2005+C++". It will just show "C" when retrieve the querystring competens.

Is there any similar in javascript using Server.UrlEncode

Use the following:

escape("/C# and C++ info.html");

This will yield:

/C%23%20and%20C++%20info.html

Effectively converting space characters to %20 and # characters to %23. The + character doesn't need converting.

You can convert such a string back using:

unescape("/C%23%20and%20C++%20info.html");

Browsers will auto-magically do this conversion for you.

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

This is how it's done in the window.open().
[tt] window.open('ace.asp?competence='+encodeURIComponent('C#+sql server 2005+C++'))

Indeed, escape is not ideal for URIs... I should pay more attention to the question

It seems that it works with both using encodeURIComponent and escape

Thank you very much.

In most cases, it is fine for escape,... not on this one with "+". I hope you've tested it and drawn proper conclusion.
